This recipe has a history. It has a historical name, not because it's a
"war cake", simple and cheap, but because I "invented" this cake, while I
was studying for my exam. It was a nice Sunday, a few days before that
huge exam named "History of middle and Southeast Europe in the 20th
century" (yeah, I'm a history student) and instead of studying I've
decided to take a break and make a quick, tasty and light fruit-cake. So
I started to mix ingredients without knowing what I'm actually doing,
and you know what - the cake turn out really good. An exam, a few days
later, turn out even better :) So here is the recipe :)
Ingredients
biscuit:
3 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons semolina
2 tablespoons flour
Milk "Sauce":
0.5 l milk
little (if needed) sugar
2 vanilla sugar
Cream:
3 eggs
100 g sugar
100 g flour
2 bags of vanilla pudding powder
0.5 l of water
0.5 l milk
another 150 g of sugar
1 vanilla sugar
Other:
whipped cream
mixed berries
Preparation
Separate egg whites from yolks. In a large mixing bowl whisk egg yolks
together with sugar
until the yolk is almost white. Add flour and semolina. Mix just until
combined. Whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add egg whites
mixture into
yolk batter. Gently combine, so that color of batter is
equal. Bake in preheated oven at 150 degrees of C, until
it's brown.
Meanwhile, i
n a saucepan over medium high
heat, combine sugar, vanilla sugar and milk. Cook, stirring, until mixture comes to a
boil. Boil for 1 minute. Pour milk syrup over baked
biscuit.
For the cream, mix water and milk. Leave the
half of the mixture, and put the other half on the stove to get warm.
Meanwhile mix egg yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar, add pudding
powder, flour and an earlier separated mixture of milk and water. Pour
the egg mixture in boiling mixture of water and milk, mix while pouring
and continue stirring until it's cooked. Leave it to cool.
then mix the berries with a little sugar.
In
a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches
245°F (118°C). Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, beat the egg whites
with an electric mixer until medium peaks form. When the sugar mixture
reaches 245°F (118°C) , slowly add the sugar mixture to the beaten egg
whites. When the sugar mixture is well blended, continue beating at
medium speed for 5 minutes to cool. Add to egg yolk cream and gently
stir.
Put the half cream on the biscuit, then put mixed berries, than the other half of the cream, and finish with whipped cream. :)
Jučer je trebala biti nedjelja "učim za ispit", no kako to biva, spletom okolnosti (koji uključuje nečje padanje i ozljedu koljena) sam ipak postala glavna kuvarica…sve je trebalo biti nabrazak gotovo, pa sam odlučila složiti kolac od dijelova drugih kolaca, pri tome mantrajući "Mala antanta", "Munchenski sporazum"..:D Završni rezultat je bio bolji od očekivanoga , ukusni spoj koji je odgnao sve lose misli i oblake, a i zasladio ispit koji sam dala za par dana :)

3 žlice šećera
2 žlice griza
2 žlice brašna
Preljev:
0.5 l mlijeka
malo (po potrebi) šećera
2 vanilin šećera
Fil:
3 jaja
100 g šećera

Priprema
Posebno izlupati žumanjke sa šećerom , brašnom i grizom. Zatim umiješati izrađene bjelanjke. Peci u plehu na 150 stupnjeva, dok ne poprimi boju. Vruće preliti s vrućom otopinom mlijeka, vanilin šećera i šećera. Stavit hladiti.
Za fil pomiješati vodu i mlijeko. Dio smjese ostaviti (oko 2 dcl) za puding. Žumanjke izmiješati s šećerom i vanilin šećerom, dodati puding (prasak), brašno i ranije odvojenu smjesu mlijeka i vode. Sve dobro izmiksati i uliti u zagrijani ostatak smjese vode i mlijeka. Miješati dok ne provrije. stavit da se malo hladne. Dotle šumsko voće malo pošećerit i ocijediti, a u mrvicu vode na vatri miješati (onih zadnjih u popisu) 150 g šećera. neka ukuha da postane viskozno, i to uliti u izrađene bjelanjke, pri tom i dalje miješajući (ili jednostavnije bjelanjke izradit sa šećerom na pari). Spojiti (ne miksati) žuti fil s bjelanjcima.
E sada izvadimo biskvit, na njega istresemo pola fila, rasporedimo voće po filu, pa ostatak fila i na to šlag, te dobrodooobro ohladiti.
